- 2 cups Cottage cheese Can use low-fat or full-fat
- 1 cup Blueberries Fresh or frozen both work
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats Can substitute with quick oats
- 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup Use your preferred sweetener
- 2 Eggs Essential for binding the bake
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon For added warmth and spice

- A pinch Salt Enhances flavors
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix together the cottage cheese, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined in a large bowl.
- Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
Cooking
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is set and golden.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing. For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla bean instead of extract. Let the bake cool completely before slicing for cleaner edges.
